What We Believe / While many seek to deny his existence, the fact remains the devil does exist and he is alive and active in this world today, in particular seeking to carry out his program of attack against God and His people.
What We Believe / A survey of texts dealing with “hell” demonstrating that 1) it is a place of punishment that is deserved, not a torture chamber and, 2) it is eternal in duration.
What We Believe / A Consideration of the glories and excellencies of heaven, our future eternal home
333 OT prophecies were fulfilled by Christ at His First Advent. Jesus of Nazareth is the only Person in history to be the Lord’s Christ/Messiah
Another look at the importance and reality of the Virgin Birth of Christ
Christ’s birth occurred at the moment in time, and in accord with God’s plan and program for Israel and the nations of the world.
Giving thanks to God is imperative, especially for the seemingly ordinary daily care and provisions He graciously allows us to experience
What We Believe / As believers in Christ, we can be 100% assured that we have salvation from sin and that we can know this is true based on the character of God and the sure promises He has made in His Word, which promises He always keeps
What We Believe / The doctrine of Justification by faith “alone,” is the lynchpin doctrine of Biblical Christianity and is the primary benefit of our great salvation from sin.
What We Believe / The reality and fact of Christ’s Bodily resurrection prove it to be one of a number of core, essential and necessary doctrines that define the Church and Biblical Christianity
What We Believe / A survey of excuses commonly used to explain the empty tomb all fall short of both common sense and biblical explanation. The simple fact is that Christ arose from the dead on that first Resurrection Sunday!
What We Believe / The only way of salvation, the only message that saves sinners, is that Christ died for our sins. The death of Christ is the only possible payment to satisfy the God’s wrath against sin. It must be accepted individually, by faith alone
What We Believe / The inheritance from Adam is sin and death; The inheritance from Christ is forgiveness and eternal life. The choice is yours.
What We Believe / How can we explain the situation in which we all find ourselves today? The sin of Adam and Eve plunged all God’s “very good” creation into the cosmic catastrophic conditions we experience on a daily basis.
What We Believe / Mankind is the crown of God’s creation. All humans from Adam bear the image of our Creator, God.
What We Believe / Explicit reasons to take God’s Word literally. He created this universe in six consecutive solar days, just a few thousand years ago.
What WE Believe / The importance of embracing the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ is a crucial yet profound reality for every believer.
What We Believe / Who is God? What is He like? God eternally exists as three distinct Person, co-equal, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
/ Christ and Christianity are far superior to both the Law and any human religion today. Don’t return to the inferior systems of man.
The importance of the death of Christ for our sins, as our Substitute, and His bodily resurrection from the dead on the third day, must be a center piece of all biblical ministry. This alone is the “gospel of Christ,” in this present age.
Hebrews / Concluding considerations to summarize the book of Hebrews remembering the exhortations, warnings, and comfort we find in the Superiority of Christ, our Great High Priest.
Hebrews / Two habits of life ought to be an integral part of the life of a faithful follower of Christ-prayer and faithful support of the local church of which one is a part
Hebrews / Love drives believers to serve in specific, practical areas of life.
Hebrews / Hear, Heed, and Practice the Voice (Word) of God
Hebrews / To return to the Old Covenant way is based on fear and terror as it was at Sinai for Moses and his generation. Today, we must press on to the future, to the bright and sure foundation of our faith, based on the Person of Christ.
